    Dawn and Diy Flavor Shack, my experience

    I was lucky enough to win a diy kit and juice from Dawn in her diy Flavor Shack Labor Day contest. I had to go out of town for a while and did not have time to do a review or completely assess the absolutely incredibly overpacked toolbox full of stuff she sent! So, I will do one now maybe...

    The Eyes of a Vaper

    I swear I see PV accessories everywhere. It's amazing how many items seem to inspire that second or third look as you're innocently walking through the hardware/auto/grocery store. Being a newb who hasnt found my perfect vape/kit/etc probably means my radar is in overdrive trying to find the...

    Custom carts

    I was wondering as I sit here vaping, how far have people gone in their diy refilling? As I am a very technically oriented person, within 2 weeks of using an ecig I was refilling my own carts. Then came replacing the polyfill, first with actual polyfill, now with emptied tea bag material. How...

    What do I need to buy, to measure ml. ?

    At the risk of sounding stupid, what do I need to use to measure ml. with? I've read about DIY alot on this forum, there's alot of helpful info, but I can't find anything that tells how to measure liquids/ml. other than 1 ml.= 20 drops. Is there a vial or something I can buy to measure out ml.?

    My latest mod, inspired by all of you.

    This is actually my sixth mod, but only the first one I've posted. The others were just copies of what has already been done. This one may have been done before, but I am quite thrilled with it. It is very compact. Has a master on/off slide switch and a momentary pushbutton tactile switch. It...

    And then there's Mod

    Another one. This time with more power. I epoxyed a DSE901 battery connector to a 4 AAA battery box, replaced the slide switch with a heavy duty electronic push button microswitch and run it on 4 AAAs. The switch fit absolutely perfectly in where the original switch went, and the pushbutton does...

    DURA-C USB Passthrough Mod

    so the Dura-C has a switch built into it. would it be possible to gut the battery (once it's days are over) and just connect up the proper wires from a long USB chord and thus have Dura greatness with USB direct power for eternal vaping on the couch or at the desk? anyone try it yet? if Janty...

    M401/402 battery thread size

    I've done some measurements, and found the threads to be 0.5mm pitch. I think the outer diameter makes it M7 bolt type (can anyone verify?) problem is, I can't find any M7 x 0.5 Bolts, Die and Tap sets, or anything that might work. It's a start to modding these e-cigs without destroying a battery.

    Quick USB 901 passthru

    Another tirevalve (maddog) passthru made in about 30m using the whole valve. The rubber casing is comfortable to hold. The center contact is a wire with a glob of solder and it is held in place by filling the valve stem with silicone. Mini switch soldered directly to the stem and glued to the...

    rethreading with a tap and die?

    Has anyone rethreaded their atomizer with a tap or die? I was thinking of rethreading one of my 801 and 103 atomizers with this method to a more standard thread type for easy modding. I found that a M8x1.0 was very very close to 103 and a M10x1.0 was very very close to my 801. I had not thought...

    EUREKA! No-Battery sacrifice adapter for 801 Penstyle

    Another forum member was talking about not being able to look at objects without thinking about how to mod them... well I've been eyeing a panel-mounted phone jack in my work elevator for about 3 weeks, but keep forgetting my pen-style to check it. Today I made a trip to Radio-Shack.. and...

    Wheres my power?

    Alo. In the final stages of my manual switch USB passthrough design. Everything was soldered, in place, and done from what I thought. LED functions properly when atomizer is connected and tact is pressed, showing a proper circuit and that it is getting juice. So back to the title. Where the...

    My latest mod: The Dragon Box

    With the success of my usb juicebox mod... I had an extra housing left over and I wanted to try the same mod with a Red Dragon (loongtotem v9/bloog/EAZE Magnum/Smoke 51 clone). Again, I couldn't bear the thought of killing a perfectly good battery so I simply used one of the many...

    M401 modification

    I finally broke down and decided "I can't wait for my M401 batteries to die, I have to mod an atomizer NOW!!" This is another direct connection. No batteries to sacrifice yet. Atomizer hard-wired and epoxyed into a 4AAA battery holder, w/ on/off slide power switch. A jumper cable in place...

    Wiring a Momentary Switch - Help Needed

    I am really having a hard time visualizing how to make the momentary switch on my magnum mod work properly. I haven't had a lot of time in the evenings to sit down and work with it. I'll preface this by saying that electrical work and wiring isn't really my strongest department. I've got all...

    New person wants to play too

    My husband Greg's DSE-901 came in today, and we were playing with it and some of the different flavors. He likes it ok, except for the liquid on the lips sometimes (over-fill I'm guessing). Aside from that part, I like it quite a bit myself but have been expressing my disappointment about the...
